About Keith

Dr. Keith Wilkerson focuses on practical help for people dealing with family and parenting challenges and other stressful life issues. He offers steady, straightforward support for stress, anxiety, anger, grief, mood concerns, trauma, and parenting struggles.

He writes short, clear goals with each person and asks clients to try steps between sessions to see what helps. Dr. Wilkerson is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, and works from Louisiana.

He trained at Regent University and earned a Master of Arts degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2015.

Background and approach

He also holds national certification as a National Certified Counselor. His license is listed as LA LPC 6526 with the Louisiana LPC Board of Examiners. In sessions he uses a collaborative style.

He invites clients to share what matters most and to set small, realistic goals. Treatment often includes practice tasks between meetings so progress can be tracked and adjusted. He draws on several practical therapy methods, including client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral ideas to change thinking and behavior, and solution-focused work to build immediate coping steps.

These approaches are used to address issues such as ADHD, depression, bipolar mood patterns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and antisocial personality concerns among others. Sessions may involve talking about family patterns, parenting actions, or urgent needs during crises. The focus is on clear steps parents and families can try right away.

Dr. Wilkerson emphasizes teamwork in order to make steady, useful change.

Online approaches that focus on practical change

Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what the client says matters most. This approach helps people feel heard so they can decide on goals that fit their family or life situation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, actions, and feelings connect. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and parenting stress.

Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal oriented. It helps identify small, immediate steps that bring quick relief or incremental progress during family or parenting challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a joint process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what proves helpful.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules. Video calls let people talk face to face, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer more flexible ways to connect. These options help people keep continuity of care and use tools that fit their daily routines.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
